This will be Sharps number 4. I just placed an order for the Hartford model with a 30" standard weight barrel in 44/77SBN. This will be for "Just Fun Shooting" and hunting. I have been blessed over the years to own two original Sharps, an 1863 non converted and an 1869 50/70 Carbine. In addition, I had Wolfgang build me a Hartford model in 44/77SBN in 1989 with all the upgrades, a very nice rifle. But I had to sell all three when I was out of work for over a year. When I was back on my feet I strayed and started to collect and shoot Remington Rolling Blocks. However, the Sharps "BUG" would surface every year or so and I finally succumbed to temptation. [b]I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS RIFLE I'M ABOUT TO WET MYSELF[/b]...can I say that here? SteveWell....I did it again!

Well, looks as though you just said it.
Welcome back to the fold, so to speak.
Of course I do not have to tell you how delighted you are going to be when your new Shioh reaches you, but congratulations. I just recieved my .45/90 Hartford and am waiting on my .50/90 to go into production just any time now.
You know? I am really anxiously awaiting my .50/90, but when it does arrive, the thought of not having an order pending with Shiloh is kind of scary.
